squid Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Yesterday I went to the doctor for my yearly physical. My blood pressure was high, my cholesterol was high, I'd gained some weight, and I didn't feel so hot. My doctor said eating right doesn't have to be complicated and it would solve my physical problems. He said just think in colors; Fill your plate with bright colors; greens, yellows, reds, etc. I went right home and ate an entire bowl of M&M's and sure enough, I felt better immediately. I never knew eating right could be so easy. Quote

Low_Budget_Hooker Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Not sure if this is total joke or 1/2 truth . I also went to the doctors lately and got the opposite report but same warning. Blood pressure-fine weight-fine cholesterol-dead on BUT....I just turned 40 and was warned that all those perfect scores can change in a weekend. Time to keep an eye on myself. But I love M&M's too so I think I'll be fine Quote
Super User MALTESE FALCON Posted August 16, 2007 Super User Posted August 16, 2007 That's exactly what happened to me Russ. I was always 6' tall and 180lbs. BP was always perfect and cholesterol was good, then I turned 42. Everything turned to crap. Now I have to watch my diet, take pills and monitor my BP. The exercise thing is tough with my spine problems, but I do what I can. I hope everybody over forty gets an annual physical. I can't stress enough how important it is. Falcon Quote
